Health Center
The student health center is in the Amelia T. Wood building (see link to map below) and is comprised of a walk-in clinic and pharmacy on the first floor, Women’s Center and Health Education on the second floor and a physical therapy unit on the lower level. The purpose of the health center is to complement the services of your health-care provider.
The health center provides many services, such as immunizations, STD testing, advice for study abroad students, exams required for student employment and TB testing.
Before the start of classes, each student is required by Indiana State Law to turn in a health form that includes his or her immunization information. However, the university allows a grace period of one academic term. Students will be prohibited from registering for second semester classes if they have not turned in the form. A link to the health form is provided below.

• Primary Services: Individual and group counseling, Psychiatric counseling, Career exploration and counseling, Educational workshops and programs, Emergency services, Consultation and Testing.
• Services for Students: Many kinds of issues and concerns can best and most comfortably be dealt with by working with a counselor on an individual basis. If individual counseling seems best for your needs, you will ordinarily continue meeting with your intake counselor. Occasionally, you may be referred to another counselor whose expertise can better meet your needs. The maximum number of individual sessions that a client may have in any calendar year is 12, although most problems can be resolved in fewer sessions, with the average number being four. Your counselor will determine the number and frequency of sessions.
Sometimes a student and their counselor decide that group counseling is the best way to address their issues. This is often the case when students have questions about how they get along with others or if they are feeling lonely and isolated. At other times, students may experience unique difficulties that are best addressed with others who share those same concerns. Students who have been in group therapy often report that they enjoyed getting to know group members over time and that they found giving and receiving feedback from others helpful. Often students tell us that it was very reassuring to realize that other students had the same types of concerns and to learn about how they coped with them. A consulting psychiatrist is available to serve students in conjunction with counseling services. Psychiatric services are available by referral only. All of our services are free and confidential.
• Confidentiality: The Counseling Center staff has a strong commitment to keeping the information you share confidential. Beyond our own commitment to confidentiality, Indiana law requires it.
